AANP Federal Advocacy: Your Voice Makes a Difference!
Nurse Practitioners create access to healthcare for our patients, families, and communities. As we close out 2022, there is still time for Nurse Practitioners in Minnesota to let our voice be heard by reducing barriers to our practice. In the final days of the 117th Congress, it is critical to continue communicating the importance of eliminating all federal barriers to practice for NPs.
The AANP Advocacy Center provides an excellent opportunity for you to educate and inform your elected officials of the high-quality health care delivered by NPs across the country.
With just a few clicks, your voice can make a difference when you urge your Members of Congress to:
- Increase patient access to high-quality, NP- and APRN-provided health care by supporting the ICAN Act.
- Take Up and Pass H.R. 6087 in the Senate to Improve Federal Employees' Timely Access to Health Care for Workplace Injuries.
- Authorize the Inclusion of NPs’ Patients in Shared Savings Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).
- Improve Access for Patients Who Need Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Services.
- Improve Medicare Patient Access to Needed Therapeutic Shoes.
Your voice makes a difference! Members of Congress want to hear from you!
